Do you think Wayne Harris believes his son is a monster?
The only thing I have to go on is what Tom Mauser said. I’m going to give a little bit of a backstory here first for those that don’t know.
Tom Mauser wrote a letter to Wayne and Kathy Harris in 2007. He was pissed that the Klebold’s and Harris’ had not reached out more to the victims families. Wayne and Kathy declined to meet with him, but they did answer some of Mauser’s questions through their Attorney. Sue Klebold met with Tom Mauser though. Tom Klebold and Linda Mauser did not attend the meeting. Linda didn’t want to deal with Sue because it wasn’t Dylan who killed Daniel.
Two years later in 2009, Linda Mauser wrote a followup letter to the Harris’. This time they agreed to meet with them. Ten years had passed since the shooting by this time. The met at the Quaker Meeting House in Denver.
Tom said that Wayne did most of the talking (big surprise..) Wayne accepted that Eric was a psychopath. He told Tom that he wasn’t sure where it came from, but that Eric had them totally fooled. Kathy did not say whether or not she accepted the “diagnosis” (I don’t think she accepts it). Wayne placed some of the blame on Eric’s therapist. He claims that the therapist wrote off the trench coat, the fascination with weapons, and the anger as normal teenage angst. (Never mind the fact that Wayne told police he believed Eric’s fascination with weapons was normal because he came from a Military family)
Linda said she found Wayne and Kathy “incurious”. They knew Eric had a website, and they knew he made levels for Doom, but they never asked Eric about it, or asked to see it. Linda said Kathy shared a lot of loving stories about Eric. When asked about child abuse, Wayne and Kathy both said they never physically disciplined the boys. Wayne only seemed proud and happy while discussing Kevin. He told Tom that Kevin was doing very well and had become successful.
Kathy cried as she talked to Linda. She kept telling Linda how sorry she was. She also confided in Linda that she had become very scared and anxious all the time. According to both Tom and Linda, Wayne was very detached from Kathy. He didn’t comfort her at all as she cried. Wayne also continuously told Tom and Linda that there were not any mistakes on their part that he felt might have contributed to Eric’s mindset. Right before they ended the meeting, Linda told Kathy that she had forgiven Eric. Wayne also told the Mauser’s that they would never talk to the media. They just didn’t want to endure it.
Okay, now to answer the question you asked….This is my own personal opinion….Yes, I think Wayne agrees with the people who diagnosed Eric postmortem (yes, I’m judging). I think it is easier for Wayne to accept Eric was a psychopath, than to admit that he might not have been the greatest parent. If he accepts the psychopath theory, than he does not have to shoulder any of the blame. For some reason, I think Wayne’s pride is very important to him. With Eric being labeled a psychopath, it means there is nothing he could have done to change it, and nothing he did or said contributed to it. It was just who Eric was.
I personally think its bullshit. Wayne should care a lot more about understanding who his son was than any of us do, and he just doesn’t. I think he is a prideful, neglectful, pompous, uncaring jackass. He brags about Kevin, not just out of pride, but to say “Hey world, look at my son the Doctor! See it wasn’t my fault that Eric shot up his school!”
I don’t like Wayne Harris very much.
